Being naturally of a strong constitu-
ton, 1 had frequently boosted that no
chillJ and fever or other maIarious com
p amt would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con-
dition in which found myself elk months
ago. l first noticed that did not feel so
sprighty and vigorous as was my wont to
d. l felt tired and enervated.
Soon l noticed a distinct and dis
tressing back ache woald mako its ap-
pearsnce in the afternoon, increasing in
severity if the exercise was more than
usually violent. Then a stretchy feeling
with profuse gaping made its appearance.
Then my head, always clear as BELL
would feel heavy and 1 began to have
headaches.
The cold stage was marked with chat
tering of the teeth, severe rigors passed
over me, and no amount of clothing
could keep me warm. The chill was sue
ceeded in turn by the fever, in which l
seemed to be burning up, the congestion
in my head produced violent pain in
the frontal portion and heated sensa-
ton of the eyelids, with an indescribable
aching of the lower limbs. Nausea and
vomiting occurred with severe retchings,
and when the paroxyisms as'ed off l
was thoroughly Frustrated by weakness
that was felt in every part of me.
l dragged myself with quinine, and OBJ
tanned sons relief. But my respite was
Of brief duration. l was now so much
reduced that could hardly walk or stand
upright. Ny disease soon eliminated in
a continued malarial fever which kept me
closely confined for about week. l be-
came exceedingly depressed and melan-
choly, so much so that l lost interest in
my work, and, indeed, scarcely cared
what happened TO me.
During all this time, it must ,be under

were tried, such as liquid arsenate, of
potash, vsleriante of iron, mercury,
bromide of potassium, chloride of bis
nuth, chinoidine, chinchonidia. quinine
and several others. All this 1 did under
the advice of eminent physicians.
1t was while l was in this deplorable
condition that the claims made for Kas-
kline, the new quinine, as a specific for

ion. l knew nothing of its value to
Justify my having any confidence in it,
,ut as everything else had failed l deemed
t my duty to try it, so l began its use,
md its prompt and radical effects were of
he nature of a revelation to me. Many
,eople may think the statement scarcely
redible, but it is fact that after only a
ew days use of Kaskine all the leading
ymptoms in my case were decidedly
bated or ceased altogether; and in few
